Description:
Just to the west of Horsehouse village a lane runs a short distance up the fell-side and over Deerclose Gill, passing its nearby waterfall, to Deerclose West. The former farmhouse with an adjoining barn conversion stands in tranquil and expansive grounds viewing south through the upper reaches of Coverdale. Entry is through a porch to a large hallway, with separate toilet and wash basin, and on to a comfortable lounge with beamed ceiling and stone fireplace with wood-burning stove. From the lounge is a dining room with open beamed, pine ceiling, pinewood floor and gas flame effect stove. Off the dining room is a well equipped, lime-wood kitchen with tiled floor. The kitchen can also be reached from the hallway. An open tread pine stairway rises from the lounge to a landing serving a large double bedroom and en-suite bathroom with bath, washbasin and toilet, a large twin room with corner washbasin, a second twin room and a bathroom with bath, shower cabinet, washbasin and toilet. To the side and rear of the house is a gravel and cobbled driveway with ample room for parking and to the front a lawned garden, an ideal place to sit and enjoy the panoramic view or while away a warm summers evening with friends. The use of warm pine furniture and fittings, the retention of original ledge and braced pine doors, exposed beams and occasional exposed stonework brings traditional farmhouse character to this very comfortable family home. Duvets and pillows are provided with linen and towels included in the rent. Oil central heating, logs for woodburning stove and electricity included. Colour television, Free View, DVD, radio/cassette/CD player, freezer, microwave oven, dishwasher, automatic washer, tumble dryer, shaver point, hairdryer, cot and high chair, garden furniture. Off road parking. Pub 600 yards or the Foresters Inn in the next village of Carlton. Shops, restaurants, etc and nearest bus service Leyburn 6 miles. Sorry not suitable for pets. Strictly non smoking. Please note this cottage is let on a Friday to Friday basis and not the usual Saturday to Saturday and arrival time is 6pm.
Location:
In the three miles travelled up the valley from Carlton the hills have narrowed the valley and the meadows have retreated towards the river. Here is the village of Horsehouse, the last sizeable settlement in the High Dale with its houses huddled closely into the contours of the land under Fleensop moor, looking towards the masses of Little Whernside, Dead Man’s Hill and Great Haw dominating the southern horizon. A village named because of its importance as a staging post for drovers, travellers and their horses. Originally an important link between Wensleydale and the Cheshire salt mines then later the main coaching road from London to Middleham and Richmond. Once a busy little community with a church, two chapels, two public houses and a school. Now both chapels and the school have closed but the church of Saint Botolph still remains as does the Thwaite Arms public house. A place where footpaths still meet and lead to other dales in spectacular moor land walks.
